GCN+ (Global Cycling Network) is a savior for hardcore fans. You pay a monthly fee and get live coverage of dozens of races, plus the Tour de France. The commentary is nerdy in the best way—they’ll explain why a rider’s cadence matters at 3 a.m. Your call.

For the cheapskate in all of us: YouTube has official highlights and the final 10km of each stage. It’s like eating just the frosting off a cake—satisfying, but you miss the whole bake.
One warning: don’t trust random streams. I tried a “free” one last year and ended up watching a guy in a frog suit eat spaghetti. The Tour was, uh, not on that channel.
